I still like that this Master Collection exists, despite its flaws. It's definitely a time-capsule and if you are hungry to experience the brilliant stealth-action saga on modern consoles, you will find much to love. But you still have to remember that this is just a re-release and what was good back then in terms of controls, might feel rather alien nowadays.
Medieval Dynasty: New Settlement is a dazzling pioneer of what's possible for in-depth simulations and role-playing adventures in virtual reality. Its immersive crafting, community building, and survival mechanics feel incredibly tactile and rewarding thanks to full VR integration. This is undeniably one of the most impressive open-world experiences currently available in VR and is an absolutely essential experience I recommend to everyone.
I didn't like C-Smash VRS as much as I was hoping I would. The presentation sure is great, but that alone cannot save this experience for me as the core gameplay loop left me unsatisfied most of the time.
While I really appreciated Lucy Liu's voice performance, The Pirate Queen ultimately tells only a small piece of Cheng Shih's history without delivering compelling narrative or gameplay.
I was pretty excited when I learned the news that Lawn Mowing Simulator would get the VR treatment and that I would be able to play it on my Quest 3. However, after playing or better say trying to play it, in its current state, I cannot recommend Lawn Mowing Simulator VR to anyone and I will go as far as to say that you should completely avoid this game.
Between awe-inspiring vistas lay meticulously crafted space facilities begging exploration. Stellar interactive systems, visuals pushing portable VR limits, and an engrossing sci-fi plot has Vertical Robot raising the bar for the medium once more. For any Quest 3 owner, Red Matter 2 offers a must-play and essential showcase of what VR is capable of delivering.
Although the performance of the two main actors is bad, the setting, the story, the weird gorgeous locations you get to visit and the gameplay make it worth your time and money.
Faithful to its roots while introducing quality of life tweaks, Contra: Operation Galuga offers accessible and rewarding gameplay for series veterans and newcomers alike looking for retro shooting fun.
Paint The Town Red VR on Quest 3 brings the exhilarating and blood-soaked action of the original game to virtual reality, offering a unique and immersive brawler experience, but technical problems keep it from being one of the greats.
Penny's Big Breakaway is at its best when movement feels crisp and levels showcase Evening Star's knack for balancing complexity and flow. But frustrating challenges and technical hiccups weigh things down.
The game has been out for quite some time now and while I don't know how good or bad it was prior to these last few massive updates, I know that today, Genotype is probably one of the best single-player games you can play on Quest 3. I strongly recommend this game.
While not revolutionary from a gaming standpoint and has a fair amount of jank, The Grand Getaway is a true success in translating what makes Wallace and Gromit so special to the interactive virtual medium.
Racket Club has quickly become one of my most played VR titles, partly due to its excellent execution of multiplayer. The combination of rapid match pacing, satisfying gameplay feel and constant progression incentives create a compelling package.
It's sad to say, but creativity and passion appear absent from Dead Man's Diary
Rocksteady clearly cares for these characters and world, but the open-world and looter shooter conventions chosen don't serve the story or gameplay well. It might eventually get better, but who knows?
Its polish makes mechanics sing in harmony, carrying you through by sheer enjoyable force alone. UNDERDOGS establishes new standards for what arena fighting games can achieve in VR.
It's not a perfect game by any means - the visuals, while beautiful, are simple and they get a bit repetitive especially since the game reuses the same levels over and over as part of the story. The music, I adore synthwave, but it too gets repetitive. But man, that arcade-style brawling just feels so good that I was willing to look past those flaws. If you're feeling nostalgic for those 16-bit brawlers, Agent 70 is here to deliver the digital beatdown.
Into The Radius' unnerving world and exacting gameplay reward meticulous scouts prepared to brave grim unknowns. This is survival redefined for a new medium at its most immersive, a true masterpiece that I whole-heartedly recommend!
While its sublime visuals, engrossing puzzles and memorable boss encounters show glimpses of greatness, but inconsistent gameplay and an over reliance on excessive dialogue kinda undermine this ambitious game.
For those open to thoughtful interactive fiction within virtual worlds, The Cub proves a memorable trek worth embarking on.
